The one day that unites Indians across the board be it barriers of religion, caste or class is Independence Day and it's here. Wishing other citizens on this glorious day when India became free from the foreign yoke becomes almost mandatory for Indians. While it may not be a festival or an annual observance, August 15 is one day when Indians celebrate the founding of modern India. Most of us wish each other on the street and in public life. Now one can also wish others by SMS, here are some samples that can be sent on August 15.

"Wish you all a Happy Independence Day. May our country progress in every sphere so that the whole world is proud of us. Hindustan Zindabad." "Bharat ke jhande ko kabhi mat jhukne dena. Is desh ki badti shaan ko kabhi mat rukne dena. Ap sabko Bharat ki Azadi Mubarak." "Hope this 15th August will add more colours of victory to your life. Happy Independence Day."

Says Rama Malhotra, an advertising professional, "August 15 has been a day when Indians stand with their heads held high and remember the sacrifices of the martyrs who gave up so much for our Independence. Patriotism is something which doesn't go out of fashion and with India set to grow, we should celebrate this day."For Independence Day messages, SMS Wish on 52424.
